Straya - the game where every animal tries to kill you (teddyras)
6This game showed up on a twitter feed claiming to be hilarious, every animal in this game tries to kill you. The actual game I played could have stood to improve a bit. I did not expect such a grindy game when I downloaded it, but boy, this game makes you play a big dumb resource game. That resource of course is money to buy everything, and on death you lose all the items you had, meaning you have to rebuy everything. Of course this puts pressure on the player not to die; however, that post I mentioned earlier was correct: everything is trying to kill you and there's enough of them to do you in easily. The player gets sent on all these boring missions with the only exciting part coming from when swarms of weirdly hostile animals all attack you and stress out the player. Of course all of them require you to either fly a helicopter to them or pay to use fast travel, either way, it's money. Eventually you will run out of money and at that point your options are to play unexciting minigames or quit and I chose to quit. A game like this needed interesting things to do or some kind of plot to keep the player interested while a billion animals descended upon them, but instead you get a real snoozer with some fun on accident.
